Nearly three-quarters (73%) of people think it is important their pension scheme considers the environment, society and corporate behaviour when investing their money, a survey of members of workplace pension scheme Nest found.

Nest also carried out a separate survey of working people who are eligible for automatic enrolment into workplace pensions.
